Date: 03 October 1993

With the successful completion of Rupert Murdoch's long struggle to buy back The New York Post, newspaper analysts and executives say New York City's three money-losing tabloid newspapers appear to be poised on the brink of a strange new era of resilient nonprosperity. It is shaping up, these experts say, as an extended period of unaccustomed stability for The Post, The Daily News and New York Newsday, based on the deep pockets of their owners -- a period of labor peace and financial security that seemed highly unlikely even a few months ago.
